Custom order, start to finish

Just recently I had a previous bridal client come back to me for a birthday gift for her mom. She had a rough idea of what she wanted, a ring with a swirl that incorporated an opal. She sent me this screen grab, but she wanted something less generic.

idea

Nothing wrong with this, just not my style.

quick sketch

I was envisioning some little bezel set diamonds in the bubbles and an oval or freeform opal.
